Define 'submediant chord'.

What is 'tonic expansion'?
Submediant acts as a substitute for the tonic, extending the sense of home.
What is a 'deceptive cadence'?
A cadence that progresses from V to vi (or VI in minor) instead of V-I.
Define 'harmonic function'.
A chord's role in a progression (T, PD, D), based on its relationship to other chords.
What is a 'predominant chord'?
A chord that typically precedes the dominant, leading away from the tonic (e.g., ii, IV).
What is 'contextual analysis'?
Interpreting a chord's function based on its role within a specific progression.
Define 'tonic chord'.
The chord representing the key's home base, providing stability and resolution (I or i).
Define 'dominant chord'.
A chord that creates tension and pulls towards the tonic (V or vii°).
What is the function of a 'weak predominant'?
A chord that creates a gentle pull away from the tonic, leading to the dominant (e.g., vi).
What is the standard phrase structure?
Tonic-Predominant-Dominant-Tonic (T-PD-D-T).
